The next day, Lin Mu accompanied Wang Yitong to her class from the previous Saturday. His cousin also knew that his cousin's friend had come to stay the previous night, so he went back to work at the milk tea shop as usual. Wang Yitong didn't drive today, so she took the bus, then the subway, and then another subway to get to school. Along the way, they chatted a lot, and Lin Mu got to know Wang Yitong's life and work better.
"Yitong, you have really changed a lot. You have become more independent and confident now." Lin Mu said.
"Really? Maybe it's because I've been through a lot." Wang Yitong said.
"Yitong, I really admire you. You have achieved such great success by working hard in Chengdu and Shanghai alone." Lin Mu said.
"It's nothing, actually. It was with the help of others that I gradually started to have my own ideas about starting a business and studying. I just happened to catch a good opportunity and was lucky enough to achieve what I have today. I am studying now and I feel that my abilities don't match my needs. Besides, I don't want others to look down on me." Wang Yitong said.
Arriving at school, Wang Yitong greeted the class monitor, He Qingqing, and Mu Yisha. She and Lin Mu found seats in the row behind them. She took out her textbook and began reading, preparing for class. Mu Yisha then started gossiping. She turned and whispered, "Yitong, who is this man next to you? And why is he accompanying you to class?"
He Qingqing also turned around and looked at Lin Mu: "Is he your boyfriend?"
"Don't talk nonsense. This is my friend. He came here from Chengdu to play." Wang Yitong explained quickly.
"I told you, probably not. If you want to find a boyfriend, tell me. There are many excellent local people around me who are pretty good and worthy of you." He Qingqing said.
Lin Mu felt uncomfortable when he heard their conversation. He knew that this stranger looked down on him. "Yitong is my first love, and I'm pursuing her again. There's no need to introduce you to each other."
After hearing this, Mu Yisha said: "Since we broke up, it's all in the past. Besides, our Yitong is very outstanding and there are a lot of people chasing her. Yitong said that we are just friends, and you can't control others chasing Yitong."
"Hey, you..."
Before Lin Mu could finish, he said, "Stop talking. The teacher is here. Let's go to class. Learning is important."
Lin Mu sat down helplessly, feeling a little lost. He knew that there was still a long way to go between him and Wang Yitong, but he would not give up easily.
During class, Lin Mu kept his eyes on Wang Yitong. Her attentiveness in the lecture moved him deeply. He recalled the time they used to be together, when Wang Yitong would accompany him to read in the library.
After class, Wang Yitong and Lin Mu walked out of the classroom together. He Qingqing and Mu Yisha whispered in the back, full of curiosity about Lin Mu's identity.
Lin Mu heard their conversation and felt a little hopeful. He hoped that Wang Yitong would accept his feelings and come back to him.
"Yitong, let's have lunch together." Lin Mu said.
"Okay, but I want to be with Qingqing and Yisha." Wang Yitong said.
"Then let's go together." Lin Mu said.
So, the four of them went to a restaurant near the school. During the meal, Mu Yisha began to ask about Lin Mu's situation. When asked about her relationship with Wang Yitong, Wang Yitong smiled and said, "He was my first love. He was a graduate student recommended by the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. We broke up a few years ago. He now works at Huawei."
After hearing this, Mu Yisha said in surprise: "Wow, Huawei! That's a big company! Your ex-boyfriend is so awesome!" Mu Yisha still admires him very much when she knows that he now works at Huawei in Chengdu with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands. Her husband used to earn only more than 20,000 yuan a month in Shanghai, which is a huge gap compared with others. Fortunately, he now works in the United States and his income has increased a lot.
He Qingqing nodded and said, "Yes, being able to be admitted to graduate school shows that he studies very hard. And now he works at Huawei with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, which is not bad!"
When He Qingqing found out that this person was a recommended graduate student, her previous attitude changed. She still admired people who studied hard. Although this person's family background was not good, he was still very impressive due to his hard work.
Lin Mu smiled modestly and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just work harder. Yitong and I broke up due to many misunderstandings. Now that I know the reasons, I want to win Yitong back."
After hearing this, Mu Yisha said, "Then you have to work hard. Our Yitong is very good and there are too many choices for her."
Wang Yitong felt a little moved after hearing this, but she stopped talking. "Let's not talk about this anymore. We're just acquaintances right now. He'll have better options."
After hearing Wang Yitong's words, Mu Yisha and He Qingqing also understood what she meant. Moreover, they also knew that there was an excellent teacher Xu at the University of Finance and Economics who was pursuing Yitong, and his conditions were much better than Lin Mu's.
After lunch, Mu Yisha, He Qingqing, and Wang Yitong returned to the school classroom together, as they had classes in the afternoon. Lin Mu found a nearby coffee shop to work online. He had gone to a class reunion on Friday directly from the company and then to Shanghai, so he had brought his computer with him. While they ate, he also received a call from the project leader, asking him to continue working. Normally, he would have been busy with R&D at the company today, but he was in Shanghai today. He explained the situation to his leader.
After the afternoon class ended, Wang Yitong, He Qingqing, and Mu Yisha walked out of the classroom together. After the three of them said goodbye, they parted ways.
Wang Yitong also received a call from Xu Chengwei. "Yitong, I guess your class is over too. I saw your schedule and you don't have any classes tomorrow. Are you still going to work on company matters? I'd like to invite you to dinner and a movie tonight. Do you have time?"
